@ -373,9 +373,11 @@ CPython bytecode changes
* Replaced all numeric ``BINARY_*`` and ``INPLACE_*`` instructions with a single
:opcode:`BINARY_OP` implementation.
* Added a new :opcode:`CALL_METHOD_KW` opcode. Calls a method in a similar
fashion as :opcode:`CALL_METHOD`, but also supports keyword arguments. Works
in tandem with :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD`.
* Replaced the three call instructions: :opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION`,
:opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION_KW` and :opcode:`CALL_METHOD` with
:opcode:`CALL_NO_KW`, :opcode:`CALL_KW` and :opcode:`PRECALL_METHOD`.
This decouples the argument shifting for methods from the handling of
keyword arguments and allows better specialization of calls.
* Removed ``COPY_DICT_WITHOUT_KEYS``.
